Anfield Index

Dave and David turn to the off-the-pitch storm now engulfing Liverpool, asking whether Arne Slot and Richard Hughes should be under far more scrutiny. They unpack Van Dijk’s explosive post-match comments, the continued lack of intensity and structure, and the baffling substitutions that have turned late-game scenarios into chaos. The conversation digs into the deeper issues: why Liverpool’s tactical plan isn’t visible, why signings aren’t bedding in, and why the squad feels disjointed despite heavy investment. They examine the disconnect between recruitment and on-pitch execution, the growing concern about right-back options, the questionable fit of summer arrivals like Frimpong and Kirkes, and the real risk that Champions League qualification could slip away. This cut captures the rising pressure on Slot, the doubts around the summer rebuild, and the moment where Liverpool must decide whether things can still be rescued. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave Davis and David Lynch tear into Liverpool’s shocking 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, breaking down a performance that fell off a cliff the moment the first goal went in. They look at the brutal contrast between a promising first half-hour and the catastrophic implosion that followed, including Forest racking up seven shots on target and out-creating Liverpool at Anfield. The pair analyse the lost duels, the 50–50s not being competed for, and the recurring pattern of Liverpool folding every time they concede first. They also dig into the glaring issues with Isak’s involvement, the failure to integrate an out-and-out nine, the alarming drop in intensity, and why this is one of the worst performances of the Arne Slot era. A raw, detailed breakdown of a team that looked bereft of confidence, structure and belief when it mattered most. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
